---------

Serenity Dixon is an 18-year-old fashion design major and  Architect minor at  Howard University.

Everything seemed to be looking up for her until a boy by the name of Dominic Eliot comes into her life. 

Dominic Eliot is the complete opposite. He's majoring in structural engineering at Howard University. Unlike Serenity, he's not outgoing. He keeps to himself and only speaks when he's spoken to. 

So, what happens when they get to know each other? Secrets are shared, their past comes to light, and their bond grows.All Rights Reserved

The Lines We Cross by stacyyy16

The world is full of surprises, and people are not always what they seem. This is especially true for Kenzie, Matt, and Reed. Reed Basil is the quintessential all-American southern boy, with the NFL beckoning him just like his father before him. However, he is not content with the life everyone expects of him. He has dreams and desires that extend beyond being the all-American good southern man that people expect of him, and which his father wants for him. Matt Jacobs is a quiet, smart, and good-looking guy that most people write off once they get to know him or he starts talking. No one gives him a chance unless they have a goal to use him for his brain or to get closer to his roommate. But what happens when his dreams come true, and his best friend finally sees how much he cares for him? Unfortunately, the next day brings them back to the real-life challenges that one may not want to face. Kenzie Underwood is the kind of person who keeps to herself, but she's not one to be underestimated. She has a sharp intuition that never fails her and a smart tongue. She sees right through Reed and Matt's supposed friendship. But what happens when she realizes that she wants to be involved and that there might be something more between all of them? Is she seeing something that isn't there, or is there more to this story than meets the eye? As their paths converge, these three individuals will discover that the world is full of surprises. They'll have to navigate unexpected twists and turns to find their place in a world that doesn't always make sense. It's a story of love, friendship, and self-discovery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

When Autumn Ends by srndpt_grld

Eliot Reyes, a 17-year-old freshman art student, moves to the city to chase his dreams of becoming a professional illustrator. Reserved and sensitive, Eliot carries the trauma of being outed in high school. Across campus, Damian Velasquez, a 19-year-old engineering sophomore, is everything Eliot isn't-charismatic, athletic, and openly bisexual, though haunted by the ghost of a broken relationship. Fate binds them when they're paired for a university cross-department project. As they spend time together, their guarded walls begin to crumble. What starts as a reluctant partnership blooms into a friendship-and perhaps, something more. But the past has claws, and both Eliot and Damian must confront their fears if they hope to find love in each other.

Chaos & Serenity | 18+ by EroticcMelanin

Serenity [Sir-ren-ity] : The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Chaos [Kay-os] : Complete disorder and confusion. ♕♕♕ With being the Don of one of the biggest and baddest mafia families Luciano was never at ease with himself. He never felt like he was sane. Always shedding blood, murdering, selling drugs, robbing banks. He was so much chaos. He needed peace. Serenity's life was agonizingly calm. She thought it was boring with her simple routine of wake up, eat, read, sleep, maybe- if she's lucky, go out with friends, then repeat. Boring cycle of truth. She wanted some spice. Some chaos. ♕♕♕ "I just told you that I'm making you come with me to Italy- a whole other country and you're response was 'YES' ?" Luciano watched me with admiration in his dark grey eyes. I shrugged, "Yeah. I'm bored. Like..painfully bored." Luciano's eyebrow stayed raised and his eyes stayed admiring my words. "Aren't you a little crazy thing huh Bella..I'll keep that in mind." ♕♕♕ Ever since that 1 night Serenity went out with her college friend group and ran into a murder/torture fight in the tight alley way of Chicago, she's been on Luciano's mind. As him, on hers. The two were attracted to each other because of good and bad things. Luciano's attraction to Serenity was simply because her aura radiated that she was sane. Safe. Serenity's attraction to Luciano was the complete opposite. Call her crazy if you will but, a tall, handsome, Italian mafia Don was exactly what she was craving for.

Serenity's Love by leiiii403

𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺. The woman of impeccable beauty was the infinite definition of her name. Calm and poise. Born into a violent life of guns and knives, you would assume a Mafia Princess like her would be training and preparing to be the next heir... But that wasn't the case for Serenity. On the other hand, she preferred to remain out of it. Therefore, Serenity's name was recognised throughout the world simply as only Serenity, the Mafia Princess who avoided the violent life of crime, instead, spent most of her time with Butterscotch, her ginger cat. Leading up to her second year of college, she sets goals to do nothing but study, try to party a little more, and not get attached to any boys. Because the last thing she wanted was to be heartbroken. Only when heartless and stunningly beautiful Silver Ceraso enters her life, she can't help but watch all of her morals crumble to her feet 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴 When Mafia families unite, Serenity and Silver become closer - and so, will Serenity be able to keep her love intact and away from Silver? And will Silver Ceraso allow the beautiful Serenity to captivate and capture him with her ways, allowing all barriers and wars in his mind to be tamed and destroyed? But the real question is, even if this does end happily for all, who's to guarantee that a complicated secret lying above the surface can't ruin everything?

Fragments of Her by Allysa_Peete

Shattered, broken, and scarred by a past no one should ever endure, Serenity's life has been defined by trauma since childhood. Raised by a mother who saw her only as a commodity, Serenity was exploited and trafficked, trapped in a dark, silent world of abuse. The only love she knew came from her father-until his sudden death left her utterly alone, forced to survive a nightmare no child should ever face. At 22, Serenity finally finds the courage to flee, escaping to a new city where she builds a life as an assistant to a powerful CEO. Despite her beauty and charm, her smile hides the deep pain she carries, her brown eyes betraying a lifetime of anguish. Her boss, a domineering man with piercing blue eyes and a magnetic presence, becomes captivated by the mystery of the guarded young woman. As his interest grows, he begins to uncover the scars, both physical and emotional, that mark her body and soul. Through tender care and unexpected adventures, he brings Serenity into a world of simple joys-the things she was denied as a child-and begins to chip away at the walls she's built to protect herself. But even as she blossoms under his affection, her past refuses to let go. Nightmares, panic attacks, and a chance encounter with one of her former tormentors trigger a breakdown, and Serenity finally reveals the horrors of her childhood. In his arms, she finds solace, but her journey toward healing is far from over. Beneath the brokenness, a love is born-but is it enough to heal her?

"𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁, 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱." Seraphina Ramírez has spent the last four years fighting for the top spot. Perfect grades, a flawless reputation, and an ironclad determination to be the best-nothing and no one will stand in her way. Except for Augustine Hart. Smug, insufferable, and just as brilliant as she is, Augustine has been her greatest competition since freshman year. No matter how hard she pushes, he pushes right back, matching her step for step, refusing to let her win. Their rivalry is the only thing that's ever felt certain. But senior year has other plans. Forced into unwanted proximity, late-night study sessions, and tension-filled arguments, Seraphina starts to realize that Augustine isn't just her competition-he's a challenge she can't quite figure out. And maybe, just maybe, she doesn't want to. "𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲." Augustine has spent years playing this game with Seraphina, never letting her get the last word, never letting her win too easily. But the more time they spend together, the more he wonders if this thing between them-this constant push and pull-isn't about winning at all. Because if Seraphina Ramirez is his biggest challenge, then falling for her might be his biggest mistake. So what happens when the rivalry that defined them starts to unravel? When the lines blur and the rules no longer apply? What happens when the only thing more dangerous than losing... is wanting to?
